Episode notes

In December of last year, they had more than 250,000 encounters, basically arrests along the southern border. That was for the administration at least a tipping point.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
